Arc V
Chapter I
Antidote
Warnings: Senichi's not mentally sound
'Why? Why am I still alive?'
Senichi lay in his hospital bed, his wounds treated by the appointed doctors and nurses. Normally he'd have been allowed to leave after a couple days, but everyone was worried about his mental health. He wouldn't respond to anyone. He wouldn't respond to doctors, nurses, family, or friends. He would just silently continue to stare up at the ceiling.
'They should've let me die,'
Despite his lack of reactions, his family still visited him. Eventually, Mary started visiting in her adult form after Haibara was able to create the permanent antidote. The only reaction they got was a brief glance at his mother who had returned to her original form. It was better than nothing. Even if he weren't listening, they would all talk to him and encourage him to speak too.
'They should just forget about me,'

After he took the completed antidote, Edogawa Conan no longer existed. He was now, and will always be, Kudo Shinichi. Now, all he had to do was to tell everyone the truth. He was done lying. He called them to the professor's house and explained his lies and revealed the truth.
Ran had been understandably angry. Shinichi had lied to her. All this time, he had been by her side. When she was close to finding out his identity, he had created more lies to cover it up. But his lies weren't the only reason why she was angry. She, and also her father, were furious that Conan had been tranquilizing Kogoro and using him like a puppet. They were also angry that Professor Agasa had created such a dangerous device. What if Kogoro had a negative reaction to the tranquilizers? What if the darts were slowly poisoning him as it built up?
The Detective Boys were also hurt. Their own friend had been lying to them this whole time. While Shinichi could've come up with a story that Conan had moved to America to be with his parents, he didn't want to create yet another lie.
Haibara, though she wanted to remain a child for a second chance at childhood, knew that she couldn't have a normal childhood in Japan anymore once the truth was out. Even if Shinichi hadn't told them about her part, they'd put two and two together and figure out that she was also a shrunken adult. She decided that she'd live with her sister in America, though her friends made her promise to keep in touch. Even after the revelation, they still considered her to be their friend.
She wanted to move to America to get away from the memories of the organization in Japan. She had studied in America when she was younger, before they brought her back to Japan where she was forced to work on APTX 4869. With the FBI's help, the official documents for Haibara Ai were created.
Arc V will have three chapters and they'll all be on the shorter side.
